restricted stock units financial

"The Reporting Person was granted 1,652 time-vested restricted stock units, each convertible into one share of common stock"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

time-vested financial

"The Reporting Person was granted 1,652 time-vested restricted stock units"

Time-vested describes a right—such as stock options, restricted shares, or pension benefits—that becomes fully owned by an individual only after they have waited for or worked through a specified period. For investors, it matters because these delayed ownership rules affect when insiders or employees can sell shares, which influences share supply, executive incentives, and the timing of potential stock dilution or insider-driven stock sales.
